The four are caused by the same issue: a test freezes.
Having the name of the test would be super helpful so that we can report
a bug upstream to fix it.

However, I don't agree with the severity.
I never experienced such issues on the official build infra (
https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=llvm-toolchain-3.8 )
or the upstream CI: http://llvm-jenkins.debian.net/
